911 ETC ANNOUNCES NEW E911 PRODUCT: SOFTLOC

Subtitle: SoftLoc assists/requires users of soft phones to provision their current location to ensure accurate routing of an outgoing 911 call.

Everett, WA: 911 ETC announced today the release of SoftLoc, a new product that requires soft phone users to provision their current location for the purpose of emergency services. SoftLoc runs as a Windows system-tray application and quietly waits for the user to launch a configured soft phone application. Upon launch, SoftLoc will appear above all other applications and remind the user to provision an emergency location. Up to three frequently-used locations can be saved to the remote emergency server and quickly provisioned with just a few mouse clicks. Other locations can be saved locally for quick server updates. If the user chooses not to provision an emergency location, the soft phone application will be forcibly closed.

SoftLoc was developed because of concerns by 911 ETC’s customers that soft phone users will ignore inputting critical location information when they log onto their soft phones. “With SoftLoc users are forced to input their location information – the corporation has the ability to disable the phone until this is done,” stated Mike Anderson, National Sales Manager of 911 ETC. “We had customers concerned about the liability issue soft phones created without any sort of requirement in place to update location information. With SoftLoc, the responsibility of provisioning the phone is put back upon the user and accurate location information is ensured in the event of an emergency.”
